Do you all who run really fast budget like a few hundred a month just for data overages or is there a better way to get bandwidth cheaper?
-
JAA
I mean, you could use a provider that doesn't have stupid bandwidth pricing. :-)
-
JAA
Or rather, traffic pricing.

Vokun - Pretty much all of us use cloud providers that have unlimited traffic. I am paying a few hundred a month for servers dedicated to this project
-
datechnoman
Most of the people run on Hetzner, I run on Netcup, others use Linode/OVH etc
-
JAA
datechnoman: How often are you running into throttling at netcup?
-
datechnoman
Never. I only run root servers
-
datechnoman
No limits on BW :)
-
JAA
Yeah, no limit but they do throttle.
-
datechnoman
None that I have seen. I might not be hitting a limit?
-
JAA
On the current RS offers, if you go above 3 TB/24h, you get throttled to 300 Mb/s until you're below that limit.
-
datechnoman
CPU is my limit so I aint hitting 3TB a day on a single server
-
JAA
Ah
-
datechnoman
I have 20 of them atm
-
JAA
RS 1000 G11?
-
datechnoman
Yeah. Better to have lower size and more of them to work around good old HTTP 429 ;)
-
JAA
Nice
-
datechnoman
Trying to be more efficient where I can
-
JAA
:-)
-
datechnoman
They have been rock solid for me the past few months so cant complain. Only complaint is that Netcup isnt a cloud and you have to pay up front for the month for each server
-
datechnoman
But as everyone knows, I live and breathe #//
-
datechnoman
:P
-
JAA
The VPS offers are hourly, but yeah, nothing with dedicated CPU.
-
datechnoman
I dont want to deal with CPU steal etc. I also assume smashing all cores on a VPS server will constitute as abuse so didnt want to bring heat my way. Getting banned from Hetzner was bad enough
-
datechnoman
Trying to not burn this bridge :P
-
JAA
Indeed
-
JAA
The VPS are great, but not when you need to consistently use CPU.
-
JAA
AB pipelines use RS, too, for this reason.
-
datechnoman
Yeah that makes perfect sense. The root servers arent that much more expensive either so worth the extra cash for piece of mind and dedicated resources
-
datechnoman
I did read through Netcup's TOS for their VPS and Root Servers and could see them easily being able to cancel you VPS servers for constant resource consumption

i run a little project on 3 rs1000s and they are really good value of CPU per euro, maybe the best i know

🤔Feel like I should checkout netcup then, I'm on Hetzner and my two AB dedis are there, but if netcup is better I might annoy JAA and suggest we think about migrating eventually (With Eventually being 6/12 months away)
